Deep female sobs were heard from several sections of the audience, as the president started to read the names of the teachers who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary school.

People are watching the president’s speech quietly and intently, the eyes of some people are glistening with tears in the television lights.

There was laughter as the president spoke about how the children in the school were “dutifully following instructions as young children sometimes do” and again when Obama talked about how one small child said, it was okay because he knew karate.

The president is speaking without a teleprompter and he carried his remarks in his dark folder.
In front of his podium are lighted candles in tumblers representing the victims.

Earlier, at moments of deep silence during the service, the hush was broken by the cries of several small children and babies, getting restless in the audience.

Pool Report #11

There were more sobs and sniffs and people brought to tears as the president solemnly read the names of all the children that were killed in the school tragedy.

At the end of his speech, people stood and applauded loudly, and the president stood at the side of the stage and several times waved his hand.

Then he exited alone from the back of the stage. Motorcade is now moving back to AF1

Outside the school, the pool saw a crowd of people, wrapped in blankets and holding candles, as they listened to coverage of the service on a speaker.

GRIEVE
I am greatly comforted by the thought that the progress of souls in the next world can be assisted by those yet living, and that for this purpose God gives us grief and pain that we might be ever mindful of those who have passed away, that our thoughts and remembrance might thus be even as unspoken prayers offered from the deepest places in our hearts and thus assist the progress of their souls.
Say the first verse firmly, speak the second, and offer the third with tenderness.

Grieve and wail and weep for me.
May your heart be shattered into a thousand pieces
May your tears roll down in torrents.
Do not deny this pain,
But send it screaming and wailing into the world

Do not hold back, keep nothing in,
For I yearn for your grief, beg for your pain and long for your tears
Each sigh, each groan, is the music of remembrance,
Each broken shard as a blade to cut away the forgetfulness
And each tear a burnish to love’s mirror.

And all are as a gentle wind to fill the sails of my soul
To send it scudding across that great sea of light.
So grieve and wail and weep for me
That you might fill my sails
And set my soul upon its true course.
